I don't have big dreams...Am I wrong? "

The answer is "not wrong." Come to know the little happy version of Ikigai.

To make you love your life more.

We are often pressured to have a strong passion, to succeed, to change the world, to be called valuable.

That many people feel that life itself is so "empty."

But in Japan...The real Ikigai philosophy is not that pressured.

A 90-year-old grandmother in Okinawa said your Ikikai was

"To wake up and sip tea and watch your grandchildren run around."

The office boy said Ikikai was "rushing home to pour food for the cat."

Ikigai = The Joy of Little Things (Joy of Small Things)

It is anything..."It's great that I'm still breathing today to see this."

(Scroll through the Coco Edition Ikigai diagram that will make you smile off)

Don't let the definition of society steal your happiness.

If your Ikikai is "Sleeping Watching Series Ready to Eat Popcorn,"

...That was the best Ikikai!

So what's your "reason for waking up to sleep" tomorrow morning?

Share it for the admin. ^ _ _ _ _ _ ^

Mimi will always stand and wait for everyone here.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ของผู้คนที่นำปรัชญา Ikigai เข้ามาใช้ในชีวิตประจำวัน พบว่าการมี "เหตุผลของการตื่นนอน" นั้นสำคัญอย่างยิ่งต่อสุขภาพจิตและความสุขโดยรวม อย่างเช่นคุณยายวัย 90 ปีในโอกินาวา ที่บอกว่า Ikigai ของแกคือการได้ตื่นมาจิบชาและดูหลานวิ่งเล่นเป็นการปลุกจิตใจให้สดใสและมีความสุขในทุกเช้า นอกจากนี้ งานวิจัยทางจิตวิทยาได้ชี้ว่า "การมีสิ่งที่คาดหวังในตอนเช้า" ไม่ว่าจะเป็นเพียงแค่รอคอยกาแฟแก้วโปรด หรือการนั่งดูซีรีส์เรื่องโปรด ก็สามารถกระตุ้นสารโดปามีนในสมองซึ่งช่วยต่อสู้กับความเศร้าและเพิ่มแรงจูงใจได้อย่างดี ในชีวิตประจำวันของเราเอง อาจไม่จำเป็นต้องตั้งเป้าหมายสูงส่งหรือความสำเร็จที่ยิ่งใหญ่ แต่การมองหาความสุขเล็กๆ ที่อยู่รอบตัวอย่างเช่นการนอนดูซีรีส์พร้อมป๊อปคอร์น การชงกาแฟอร่อยๆ หรือแม้แต่การดูแลคนที่เรารัก ก็เป็น Ikigai ที่มีความหมายมากพอที่จะทำให้เรารู้สึกว่าชีวิตมีคุณค่าและน่าตื่นเต้น การลองเขียนแผนภาพ Ikigai ของตัวเองโดยกำหนดสิ่งที่รัก สิ่งที่ถนัด สิ่งที่โลกต้องการ และสิ่งที่หล่อเลี้ยงใจ สามารถช่วยให้เราเห็นภาพความสุขแบบองค์รวมที่สร้างความสมดุลในชีวิตมากขึ้น ลองถามตัวเองในทุกคืนก่อนนอนว่า "พรุ่งนี้เช้า ฉันจะตื่นมาเจออะไรที่ทำให้ฉันยิ้มได้?" การตั้งคำถามนี้อย่างสม่ำเสมอจะช่วยปลูกฝังทัศนคติเชิงบวกและทำให้เรารู้สึกว่าแต่ละวันนั้นมีความหมาย เหมือนกับที่ Ikigai ช่วยให้หลายคนมีชีวิตที่พึงพอใจและเติมเต็มแม้จะเป็นเรื่องเล็กๆในชีวิต สรุปแล้ว Ikigai ไม่ใช่แค่แนวคิดแต่เป็นการฝึกฝนจิตใจให้ชื่นชมกับความสุขเล็กๆ ที่อยู่ใกล้ตัว ซึ่งไม่ต้องยิ่งใหญ่หรือซับซ้อน แต่มีพลังในการเพิ่มพูนความสุขและความหวังในการดำเนินชีวิตในทุกๆ วัน
